I crashed my portage and emerge stopped working. It's normal. But i suggest we'd
add troubleshooting/recovery section to the handbook, some guidelines to help
users solve critical problems like this. I didn't see any documents refer to
portage_rescue. Gentoo x86 tips and trick have some guidelines for
malfunctioning installation when installing, not when using. Portage recovery is
one problem. Another may be accidentally removed /var/db/pkg ... What do you think?
